1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Had a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: player for you. Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: in the threaded tear of normalcy. Welcome into One Bills Live.

5
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: I almost said Happy Friday. It is happy Thursday because

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills are heading back to Orchard Park today.

7
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: Training camp is officially over here at Saint John Fisher University.

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: It was a great three weeks, but I think we're

9
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: all ready to get back to Orchard Park. You know, Steve,

10
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: you were the man of the hour after practice signing autographs.

11
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: This guy every day sign an autograph, sign on Steve Taskers.

12
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: Today it was it was it was a big day

13
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: for today. It was my day because nobody else and

14
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to lunch. I'm like, Steve, let's

15
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: wrapping up here, stuck signing stuff, right. We just some

16
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: stuff for the show earlier, and I was like, it's like,

17
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: come on, let's go, you know, hustling people along because

18
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: we wanted to get you know, want to get to lunch.

19
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: And then about when we were done, one kid gave

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what he said. I saw you say

21
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: you look like you're twenty five. That was different. Yeah,

22
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: he goes up. So I went over and was going

23
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: to sign for him. So then all of a sudden,

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: there was like nine thousand people there and I ended

25
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: up signing for a minute. It was great. One kid

26
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: did say because you look twenty he skipped the line

27
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: I brought him. He said, yes, I will sign whatever

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: you need me to sign. So yeah, there's nice. It

29
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: was nice. A lot of just like always, a lot

30
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: of fans here today every ticket was used. Every section

31
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: of the stadium was full. People were loud, and they

32
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: were going and plus think about this, they knew it

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: was the last day of training camp, so everybody wanted

34
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: autograph and then it was our last chance. It was.

35
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: It was kind of a nutty day here and the players,

36
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: bless their hearts, must have lunch with Bill Whipper. He

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: goes funny when the guys are in the practice field

38
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 1: and they're holding their car keys in their hands, try

39
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: to get out. It wasn't quite the he was kidding,

40
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: but it's like that atmosphere was here. Yeah. Mattie glab

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: Here filled in for Chris Brown for the next couple

42
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: of days with my guys, Steve Tasker, and usually after

43
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: training camp practices, you know, the guys go up to

44
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: get lunch in the cafeteria. They have a little bit

45
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: of time before meetings begin, they go get treatment whatever

46
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: they need, and then they come back together for a

47
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: walkthrough later at night. So those usually are about an

48
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: hour in the evening, but today they got their walkthrough canceled,

49
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: so after lunch, these guys can head right back to

50
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Orchard Park. So I saw a couple of them, like

51
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: arms loaded with a bunch of stuff heading head into

52
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: their car to leave Rochester. But it's been a great

53
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: three weeks. I've done one training camp here since I

54
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: have been working for the Buffalo Bills season number four

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: for me, training camp number two in Rochester, and it's

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to come out here. I think

57
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: three weeks is a great amount of time for what

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott says is to build that team chemistry that

59
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: he really likes to have in this type of setting

60
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: and really thinks something like that can't happen anywhere else

61
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: unless you go to go away to camp. He was

62
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: asked today when he talked to the media before practice,

63
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, would you like to come back to Rochester

64
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: next year. He said absolutely, I love going away to camp.

65
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: I think this is an amazing location to do it at.

66
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen talked to media after practice he said

67
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: the same thing. I want to come back here next year.

68
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: So we'll see what's in store for the team next season.

69
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: We know Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott love to go away.

70
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: They love to have a couple of weeks where they

71
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: can they can really jump start that chemistry. UM. The

72
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: team does look similar the last couple of years. It's

73
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: not like they're cleaning house and bringing in a bunch

74
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: of new guys to set a new culture or anything

75
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: like that. UM, but it is nice to wake up

76
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: with these guys, to eat lunch, to eat dinner, to

77
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: eat breakfast, to go to practice, to do rehab, and

78
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: then at night you have a couple hours where you're

79
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: hanging out and we eat lunch in this cafeteria which

80
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: is in a dorm and it's one of the dorms

81
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: that the players were staying at. And you walk out

82
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,559
Speaker 1: of the cafeteria and there's some there's some areas to sit,

83
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: some chairs, some couches, and after every single meal unless

84
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: they had a head right out to practice. The couches

85
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: are loaded with players just almost sitting on top of

86
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: each other, sitting around, hanging out, playing playing games, playing cards,

87
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: talking to each other. So it's it's not just lip service.

88
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: This is actually happening, happening at training camp thanks to Sean,

89
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: thanks to Brandon, and thanks to the leaders on this roster. Yeah,

90
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Dawson Knox on the show. We'll talk

91
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: and we'll hear from him about what it means, you know,

92
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: between practices and between meeting times and after meals and

93
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: stuff about what it has done for the team and

94
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: what the atmosphere is like. But I think one of

95
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: the things about it is, and we'll ask Dawson about this, is,

96
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, the player's ability to hang out off hours

97
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: and almost not the ability to do it, but you

98
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: have no choice, you know. It's you don't have responsibilities

99
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: of kids, wives. I mean, it's great to be at

100
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: home with your kids and your wife after a long day,

101
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: but when you don't have those types of I don't

102
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: even want to call them distractions, but when you don't

103
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: have life that you know is happening after you leave

104
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: the complex. Every single day you have time to really

105
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: build relationships and people. Yeah, and the relationships are what

106
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: makes it important, what makes the team play well together.

107
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: And it's you know, we talk a lot Brownie and

108
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: I about having you have to have the emotional content

109
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: into your game. You have to be fully invested, you know, emotionally, physically,

110
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: you know, spiritually. I mean, you have to pour everything

111
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: into the game because it demands a physical sacrifice. And

112
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: if you're if there's any reason, like you don't like

113
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: some teammates, you're not really you know, respect some guys,

114
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: the guys don't like you, whatever, you have bad relationships

115
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: on the team, you started quickly asking yourself, I really

116
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: want to make this investment. But when the relationships are

117
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: like we've seen here where these guys really like each other,

118
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: you're they're you know, not only willing to but eager

119
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: to make the investment. They have to to play their

120
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: very best with that little edge of emotion and let

121
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: the edge of grit and all of that. When when

122
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: it comes time to doing that, when they tee it up,

123
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: so it's it does help they know that this is

124
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: an important part of that of building that and it's

125
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: evident everywhere. Yeah, it really is on the docket. For

126
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: today's show, We've got Dawson Ox coming up at one thirty.

127
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: The tight Ends sat down with us right after practice.

128
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: We also have Greg Connors of Connors and Ferris, one

129
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: of the founding partners, here with the training camp at

130
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: Saint John Fisher University, so that'll be later in the show.

131
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: You'll also hear from Josh Allen and Micah Hyde, who

132
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: addressed the media after practice. So we've got a jam

133
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: packed show here on a Thursday afternoon. We're going to

134
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: head back to Orchard Park after the show. We've got

135
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: Friday's show coming to you live from the studio. It'll

136
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: be nice to be back in studio. But yeah, like

137
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: you said, the team chemistry that has been built over

138
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. Josh Allen also described Saint John

139
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: Fisher as as top notch. Everything that they've gotten to

140
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: do here and we kind of get to experience some

141
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: of that too. I've been sleeping in the dorm room

142
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: for the last three weeks, so I kind of get

143
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: to live the life that a player gets to live,

144
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: not necessarily practicing and meetings and all those things, but

145
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: eating in the cafeteria, hanging around my teammates, my fellow

146
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: friends that I get to work with every day. And

147
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: it's funny because I've told Sean this before, Sean McDermott,

148
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, training camp, going away. Yeah, you're trying to

149
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: build that chemistry with the team. But what happens when

150
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: when we all go out somewhere for three weeks is

151
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: we also get to become closer with each other as well.

152
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: So I've enjoyed being in Rochester and get into to

153
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: live this dorm life here for for the last couple weeks.

154
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: But we've also seen some amazing practices. We've had fifteen

155
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: practices out here. We've seen some really competitive practices. We've seen,

156
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: um some some offensive players and defensive players get a

157
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: little heated in moments. I think these guys are really

158
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: ready to get into the preseason games, which Saturday at

159
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: four o'clock against Indianapolis Colts, a home game at high

160
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: Mark Stadium, the first preseason game of the year. There's

161
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: three of them this season before they get into the

162
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: regular season. Um, the evaluation of this roster is really

163
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: gonna kick up a notch here starting starting the next

164
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: couple of practices and once they hit the field for

165
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: that preseason game. We've talked about the last couple of seasons,

166
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: not an easy roster to make, and we saw last

167
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: year when guys get cut. You know, you cut to

168
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: eighty six, you cut to eighty, you cut to fifty three,

169
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: and as soon as you cut guys, they're getting plucked

170
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: by other teams, two different rosters. Right, Yeah, it is

171
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: going to be a tough roster to make. It. They're

172
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: very deep, and some key spots, even the defensive line

173
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: where they rotate so many guys too, and so many

174
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: guys they need so many guys to take the field

175
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: like they want to take the field. They're still gonna

176
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: be some tough spots on that roster to make. And

177
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: then you said it, Maddie, this training camp as it breaks,

178
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: We've talked to Dawson Knox about it. These you know,

179
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Josh is probably is not going to play in this

180
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: preseason game. Yeah, Sean said earlier that Josh would not

181
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: play on Saturday, right, So, and and they'll be others too,

182
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, I imagine there'll be some other guys who

183
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: don't play. Von Miller might be a great candidate to

184
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: sit down, but all that. But it's funny because you know,

185
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: you go through this training camp. They've been here for

186
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: two and a half weeks and they and they've been

187
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: working really hard, and it's been long days and meetings

188
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: and all day every day. They got something going on.

189
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: And they finally break camp and they get a chance

190
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: to go out and line up and you walk out

191
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: of that tunnel in front of this big home crowd.

192
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome, and then they don't get to play.

193
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: It's it's it's one hand, right, On one hand, you

194
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: love it because Wow, I've a kind of established myself.

195
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: On the other hand, it's like, man, get me out.

196
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: I want to do it. So it's it's a little

197
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: bit of that for the players too. But certainly you're right, Maddie,

198
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a very difficult roster to make and

199
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: they've got some tough decisions to make as well. They're

200
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: very deep. This draft class goes very deep in guys

201
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: who have contributed during training camps, Deeper than any draft

202
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: class I can remember. Yeah, we've seen stuff from just

203
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: about every single player that was drafted, the first five

204
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: guys you can think about it. Of course, Kayer Elam

205
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: of course he's taking reps with the ones. Um James Cook,

206
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: He's not going anywhere. No. Three is is Bernard Bernard. Is.

207
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: Bernard Bernard is playing extremely well, extremely well at linebacker

208
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: wherever they line him up. The fourth one is Khalil Shakir,

209
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: who has wowed some people. The fifth one is Mattaiza.

210
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you go down the list all these. Christian

211
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: Benford has is at points was taking reps with the

212
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: one number one defense. It's been a draft class that

213
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: has been fantastic in this training camp, and I'm really

214
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: excited to get a chance to see him play. It's

215
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: extended snaps against somebody else where you can kind of

216
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: get a better feel. So Um, it's been a training

217
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: camp that is dragged on, no question, but we've seen

218
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: a lot of positive things from some unexpected places. Yeah,

219
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: the scouting department is so good at their jobs. I remember,

220
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, by the third day of the NFL Draft

221
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: every year, you're kind of sitting around like, Okay, when

222
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: is this thing gonna end? We're ready for it to

223
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: be over. Sixth round picks, seventh rounds. You don't know

224
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: the names that you've studied for the first few rounds.

225
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: But beyond round four and into five, six, and seven,

226
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: these are guys who you haven't necessarily watched tape on

227
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: or know their names, and you and then because of that,

228
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, well we'll see what they can do

229
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: on this already stacked roster. And they come out to

230
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: training camp and they are all making names for themselves

231
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: against really talented players that they're playing with or they're

232
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: playing against on the other side of the ball. What

233
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: has been the most impressive thing in your mind about

234
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: about training camp? I think that's what stuck out the most.

235
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: I think that the rookie draft picks who have shown

236
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: all the way down the line that they belong here.

237
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: They've got a chance to make this team. Um, and

238
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: I know this that the Bills. That's the first thing,

239
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: those those rookies in the draft class, all the way

240
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: down to Tanuda, the offensive lineman. I think the other

241
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: thing that has stuck out to me is that the

242
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: Bills are really, really in a great spot as far

243
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: as their offensive line is concerned, and people are like,

244
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? They've injured, they have guys

245
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: in Roger Saffield's going to be fine. He's got some

246
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: ribs from a car accident, all of that stuff. But

247
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: then you've also got Kesson Berry from the Titans, along

248
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: with Saffield, You've Greg Man, greg Man's They've They've got

249
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: a ton of players who have started games in the

250
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: National Football League. They go very deep in their offensive line,

251
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: and I think that's really going to serve them well

252
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: as a season wears on. So rookie class in this

253
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: offensive line, in their depth, really is going to make

254
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: sure that Josh has every opportunity. Yeah, Spencer Brown and

255
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: Roger Saffield, they've been back on the field beginning to

256
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: take raps with with hopefully familiar faces that they'll be

257
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: playing next to you. I think for me, the biggest

258
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: thing has been watching the defensive line as a whole.

259
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: I think we knew this group would would take a

260
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: step forward with the addition of von Miller, but I

261
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: think something that has been so fun and so cool

262
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: to watch is the addition of a player, a proven

263
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: player like that who's a future Hall of Famer. See

264
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: what he's able to do to the group and the

265
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: defense as a whole. You see guys playing with confidence

266
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: that I have not seen before out of some players

267
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: on the defensive line, and players like Ed Oliver and

268
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Leslie Fraser has spoken to that. Ed said,

269
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: I feel more confident now that I have von Miller

270
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: part of my defensive line. And you think that would

271
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: happen because you have a player of that caliber added

272
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: to your defensive line. But it's been so fun to

273
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: see somebody like Ed, who's been growing every single year,

274
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: really take off this training camp and look like he's

275
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: having so much fun. Von Miller looks like he's already

276
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: a part of the group. He doesn't look like he's

277
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: still trying to fit in. The defensive line doesn't look

278
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: like they're shocked by a big name player like von

279
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: Miller coming in. So it's been really fun to watch

280
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: that group gel together and to see them dominate in

281
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: practice after practice after practice. They've been picking up sacks, pressures, TFLs,

282
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: and in just about every practice. So I cannot wait

283
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: to see this group get onto the field um and

284
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: see what they can do and how much havoc um

285
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: they can cause against opposing offenses. I cannot wait. But

286
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to our first interview of the day.

287
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: We have Josh Allen. He was on the podium after practice.

288
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: So let's hear what Josh had to say. Oh. Absolutely, Um,

289
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, huge shout out to the staff here. You know,

290
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: in the cafeteria they were fantastic everybody around security. Um.

291
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's just it's top notch over here, it

292
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: really is, and we feel safe. They got some really

293
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: good food. I think we all know that. Um. But yeah,

294
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: it was a good time sending the dorms and getting

295
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: to getting no guys better and developing that team camaraderie.

296
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely necessary and it's gonna pay dividends

297
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: in the season one not playing in preseason game game

298
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: or games. Um, what is the mental rep process if

299
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: you could walk through what that's like for you? Yeah,

300
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: obviously I think around the league they don't. You don't

301
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: really call what you're gonna call in the season. Um.

302
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: But there is different ways that you can look at

303
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: it in terms of, hey, this defensive coordinator that we're

304
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: playing came from this system, so defensively, what what are

305
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: they doing? What can they do? Um? You know, again,

306
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: it's it's football at the end of the day. You know,

307
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: I love preseason because I get to sit back and

308
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: cheer my brothers on and and see you guys compete,

309
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: and that's they're competing at the highest level right now,

310
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: trying to make a spot and um, you know it's

311
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: it's a fun time and uh, we're going to see

312
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: some good football played, and we got guys that are

313
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: really hungry. Sean said earlier today that you're not going

314
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: to play on Saturday. I don't think anybody was surprised

315
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: by that. Obviously, you're gonna, you know, bideby what the

316
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: coaches and the trainers want you to do. But if

317
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: you had a preference in terms of preseason, do you

318
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: do you do you have a preference whether you play

319
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: or not? No, No, no preference. Um, yeah, day's football.

320
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: You know. I love going out there and playing. So

321
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's game two, game three, no games,

322
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: getting ready for obviously the season opener. Um, whatever coach

323
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: says is what I'm willing to do, and we'll go

324
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: from there. To value in it. If you know you

325
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: have played obviously in the past last year, I think

326
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: it was maybe a half or something like that, do

327
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: you find value in it? Yeah? I mean just going

328
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: against somebody else that's not your own defense is I

329
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: think it's valuable, um, but again, it I don't think

330
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: it makes or breaks anybody. Lastly, on that point, I

331
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: think because we talked last week and you would suggested

332
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: to appreciate it might be important you know, the play calling,

333
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: the relationship, and I know Big touched on this. Are

334
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: you cool with where it's at right now in terms

335
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: of being prepared and or the stage of preparation you're

336
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: at for the regular season, whether or not you would

337
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: see any action at any three Yeah, I mean, I

338
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: definitely sound. I'm comfortable with where things are at between

339
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: the endorse um in terms of hearing his voice and

340
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: understanding what he's calling, why he's trying to call it.

341
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: But again, it doesn't hurt to get more reps at that.

342
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: You can always be better at that, and he knows that.

343
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: I know that. I think coach pe Dermott knows that.

344
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: So again, I'm not really sure the plan of preseason,

345
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: but we'll play it by year and like I said,

346
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: whatever coach asked me to do, I'm willing to do.

347
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: Seem like this preseason, I'm sorry this camp was a

348
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: little more chippy the normal. Aside from your situation last

349
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 1: week we talked about but there was some more stuff too.

350
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: Did you feel that way? And why would that be? Again,

351
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: it's it's guys that want to win. It's guys competing.

352
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: It's guys that, you know, I know this sounds weird,

353
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: do you want to win? But guys that don't want

354
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: to lose? And I think to have that mentality each

355
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 1: and every rep. You know, nothing's gonna be perfect, we

356
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: understand that, but to try to be the best versions

357
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 1: of ourselves come out here and win, win all your reps.

358
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: It's tough to do, and guys get heated when that

359
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: does happen or when it does happen for the other guys.

360
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: So um, I definitely think it's just a lot of

361
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: testasrone and competitive juices flowing and uh, you know, it's

362
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: a I definitely think it's a good problem to have. Again,

363
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: guys being very competitive and showing, you know, wearing their

364
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: heart heart on their sleeve the case and that what

365
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: they think neighboring to the quarterback room. From your standpoint,

366
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 1: what do you think those guys are bringing? How are

367
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: they different? Yeah? Again, just the familiarity that I think

368
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: I have with matt Um in terms of relationship, trusting him.

369
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: What he sees and then the knowledge that Case has

370
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: with all of experience in the league and um playing

371
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: on so many different teams and playing at such a

372
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: high level. Um, again, he's he's an ultimate pro. And

373
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: to have both those guys obviously we can just you know,

374
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 1: hang out and talk about life with each other and

375
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: then when you know, the lights turn off, we get

376
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: film rolling. It's all about football. So it's a very

377
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: good vibe. You know, I'm very fortunate to have those

378
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: two guys in the in the room with us, and

379
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: Joe's been doing a great job and Lub has been

380
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: doing a great job as well. So, UM, I really

381
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: really love our quarterback room. How Dorsey lets the pace,

382
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: especially on throwing team rules from the sideline. What's he

383
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: gonna be liking a confined space up in the po

384
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: that I don't know? Uh, he's Uh, he's a fiery guy.

385
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have seen him on

386
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: the sideline yet in practice. Um, but again, talk about

387
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: a guy that wants that, that doesn't want to lose,

388
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: that hates losing. Um, you know, he he absolutely hates

389
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: it and that's why he started getting two in college.

390
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: You know, he never lets me, forget it thirty two?

391
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: Um oh yeah, Oh. I always try to jab at

392
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: him like coach for are you thirty six and four?

393
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: He's like thirty two? Anyways, Um, yeah, he he He

394
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: loves competing and I've heard stories about him and uh

395
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: in the gym over there playing basketball some of the

396
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: other coaches, and the stories aren't too delight, you know,

397
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: they're Uh he's a fiery guy and I love to

398
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: have that from my offensive coordinator. And um, you know,

399
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: I'm super excited for what he's gonna bring to this offense,

400
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: if you can. Brian, maybe a bit of a father

401
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: secondary father figure. Maybe I'm not sure, maybe I'm putting

402
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: works from your mouth, but would would Dorsey be more

403
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: of a brother type figure for you? Or? I mean,

404
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: I think both of them are are big brothers to me.

405
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: And you know, my dad's my dad. I don't I

406
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: won't claim anybody else is. But um, again, the relationship

407
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: you developed different relationships with different people. Um, but in

408
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: terms of being able to trust somebody, obviously, I trusted

409
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: Dabel with my life and I think I'd be willing

410
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: to say the same thing for Dorsey. And again that's

411
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: only going to continue to grow. But he's been in

412
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: the room with me for the last three years, you know,

413
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: so that trust and that that faith that I have

414
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: in him and him and me UM is already through

415
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: the roof, you know, and it's only going to grow

416
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: as time goes on. There's a challenge, and if that's

417
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: for sake of a better work of getting into a

418
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: new rhythm, it's just of a new plate caller, which

419
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: is even though you have the relationship, what would that

420
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: be that has there been a big sort of a

421
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: challenge you've dealt with to get used to it. Not

422
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: not quite UM, But everybody's got their own style, you know,

423
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: personnel that they like using certain concepts that are their

424
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: kind of favorite. If they're willing to call the same

425
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: play over and over if it keeps working, or if

426
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: they want to switch it up, like there's some play

427
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: callers that once they call a play, they cross it off,

428
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: like I'm not coming back to that. There's something they're

429
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: like that work, let's just keep running until they can

430
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: stop it. So UM again, that's a fill out process

431
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: where only game reps are gonna be able to tell that.

432
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: And you know, this preseason will be kind of a

433
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: good tale of how that's gonna go. So I'll have

434
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: obviously the mike in my year and be listening to

435
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: it the whole time. Um. But yeah, those are the

436
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: only I think things that can differ you know from

437
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: O Doc. How pretty cool it does heavy those offensive

438
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: line guys get healthy factor into what you're doing overall,

439
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: the offensive scheme to your position. Yeah, it takes uh,

440
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, we we need those guys. Those are those

441
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: are the heartbeat of our team. Um, and for them

442
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: to get out there. I think in the last two

443
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: days being able to have Roger and and Spence back

444
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: out there, um, with Bates and and Mitch and Doc

445
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: getting those reps and communicating with each other. Um. Again,

446
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: every every guy's different, different calls, different inflections of their voice,

447
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: how loud they're going to be. It all goes into play.

448
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: So they got to be you know, line the line

449
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: is all about communication, um, making sure everybody's on the

450
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 1: same page, and then me getting that relay and then

451
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: giving that to the backs and tight ends. So um. Again,

452
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: it's a process that's gonna take some time. But getting

453
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: those guys back on the field, it's very nice a while,

454
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: but three campus or any teammate. But that was really

455
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: noticeable to you. I think if you just look at,

456
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, the role that he was he sat with

457
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: us the last couple of years as in McKenzie, you know,

458
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: stepping into that slot role and um competing obviously with Jamison,

459
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: but in terms of owning the offense and understanding it

460
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: and being you know, open to communication in terms of

461
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: what I see what he feels like he should do

462
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: on certain routes. Um. You know, we know he's fast,

463
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: and we know he's got all the tools and all that. Um,

464
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: I think he kind of stands out to me and um,

465
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, he's been doing a good job for us.

466
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see how it goes for him. Finally

467
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: able to get agree with him healthy. Now he's been

468
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: out here. What does he bring to you in the offense? Yeah, again,

469
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: like his route running, he's very fluid, fluid Um obviously

470
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: the short game quickness in terms of some of those

471
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: little juke routes and option routes that we have. But

472
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: I think you saw it on that play. I think

473
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: he's got more long speed than people give him credit for.

474
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: So to be able to open up like that and

475
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: get going and kind of run away from guys. It's

476
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: it's really good to see and um, you know, we

477
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: know what we were in the rack last year, and

478
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: again I think that's partly on me. You know, Um quarterback,

479
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: it's a quarterback stat is rack. So giving them the

480
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: option to catch and run and once they can do that,

481
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: I mean you see that one play that through a

482
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: five yard route and we're down the field fifty plus yards. So, um,

483
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: that's only going to help us out a lot. About

484
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: keep getting familiar with Dorsey and his role of Joe Brady.

485
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: But what guy Morris, Um, what's what's that relationship? Like

486
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: you kind of expect so much time with him and

487
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: how important does that relationship? Extremely important? I mean again,

488
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: he's making a lot of the calls at the line

489
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and um, I gotta be listening to him

490
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: and what he sees, what he sees and what he

491
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: calls kind of goes. You know, we trust him that

492
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: much and for him to have all that on his

493
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: plate and understand like our right side's gotta be to

494
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: this and our left side's got to do something else,

495
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, and he's he's a coach on the field.

496
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: He really is and you have to snap the ball

497
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: and block and then we're asking him to pull on

498
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: a lot of our different concepts. Um, he's athletic, he's smart,

499
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: he gets the job done. Freaking love the guy. I

500
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: can't say enough things, you know, nice things enough about him. Um,

501
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: but this this year, like this training camp has been different,

502
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: Like he's been so locked in. Um, you know, you

503
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: got one that day, you know, and I wish we

504
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: could have given them more. But we needed him that much.

505
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: You know, some guys down and he just put his

506
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: head down. He kept working. And there's some days where

507
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, he seemed like he didn't have it and

508
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: then once we got it in there and in between

509
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: the lines, he just flipped a switch and he was

510
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: able to go. So, Um, he's the man. Yeah, Jimbo's

511
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: h he's quick, he's physical, he's got some twitch to him. Um.

512
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: I think he's as a rookie, like he's extremely smart

513
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: football wives too, Like he understands the game. He understands

514
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, when he's breaking into a route to throttle

515
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: down a little bit and give me good body language.

516
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: So again, as time goes on, with more reps, he's

517
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: only gonna get better. And um, you know, we drafted

518
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: him for a reason. He's here for a reason. So

519
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: whether that that rule right away is big or small,

520
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, and once he grows into it, um, he's

521
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a huge asset for us. Maaraderie asspect. There's

522
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: so many big things and then you guys all get

523
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: together and you built as a team. Is there any

524
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: one moment or one story that stands out like your

525
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: favorite memory from Campbell off of the field. I mean,

526
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: there's a few I can think of, but I probably

527
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: shouldn't say no. No, it's I mean just sitting in

528
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: the dorm room playing katan um, getting treatment with the

529
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: guys and just sitting there watching TV and joking around,

530
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: playing you know, the word game and just having a

531
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: good time. It really is And it's Uh. I love

532
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: camp I love hanging out with the guys. Uh. It's

533
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: an awesome atmosphere to be around, especially when you have

534
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: the type of guys that we have in our locker room,

535
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: guys that genuinely love and care about each other. And

536
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: when you get on the field, you can feel that

537
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: good wants to come back here. And now you think

538
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: a year at a time, but wanted to come back

539
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: here next year. I would suit based on what you

540
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: said that I wish you wanted to I did. I did.

541
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: I binged a lot of shows. I finished Breaking Bad,

542
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: I finished The Boys, I finished Terminal List, which is

543
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: fantastic too. People say me and Chris Patt looked like

544
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: just a little bit but like Andy Dwyer Chris Pratt

545
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: from Parks, and they were when we went back there

546
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: for our Red and Blue scrimmage and our chef Mack

547
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: he he was super proud of them. I thought they

548
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: were fantastic. He even had the hall opinions out there

549
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: for me, So hopefully we can get that thrown into

550
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: the rotation regularly. Sign here. I don't know a lot.

551
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: Well how much do you think I signed potentially up there?

552
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: It's again, I try to sign just for the kids,

553
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, and I try to there. There's some you

554
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: hate to you hate to see it and you know

555
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: it like there's something that you can tell that's not

556
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: there item that so it is what it is, um,

557
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: But I pick out the kids and I do apologize

558
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: to the adults, But kids are you know what what

559
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: kind of make this go? I remember being that kid,

560
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: and you know that's where I'm at with it over

561
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: case case, I skipped right by him. You saw it.

562
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't care who he was. He was, he was

563
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: a grown man. I was skiving him. There's yeah, he

564
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: eats a child still too. Can ever get like you're like, man,

565
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: I gotta get a lot today. Sometimes sometimes yeah, yeah,

566
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: you're saying, let's keep it going. The craziest thing I signed,

567
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I signed a couple of baseballs. I

568
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: think that's kind of weird. Um. It wasn't anything outrageous

569
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: this this camp, but it was a good thousands of

570
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: autographs signed by Josh Allen. Some of those players would

571
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: be out at practice thirty minutes an hour after to

572
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: the point where they had to implement an air horn

573
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: after the first week of practice because guys would lose

574
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: track of time. They would basically miss lunch because they

575
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: would be out on the field signing autographs. So then

576
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: it was an idea of Okay, let's blow an airhorn

577
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: thirty minutes after to signal to these guys, wrap it up,

578
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: start to go get lunch. You guys have other things

579
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: going on. But if they could, they would be out

580
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: there all day. And I know the fans appreciate it.

581
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: Practice wrapped up a couple hours ago, and we've got

582
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: the Saint John Fisher's football team behind us. They're so

583
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: nice to let us use their facilities for a couple

584
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: of weeks here in the end of July into August,

585
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: and life happens after the Bills leave. You know, sis

586
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: starting for a lot of these kids. The football team

587
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: is getting ready for their season two. It's wild just

588
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,239
Speaker 1: how quickly this place flips back into to being a

589
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: true university. We've got a topic of conversation today, a

590
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: Twitter question. Who is going to be Buffalo's preseason darling

591
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: this year? You guys remember Christian Wade his stand out

592
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: game that he had that really long run for a touchdown.

593
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: He became a fan favorite after that. So do you

594
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: think they're just gonna be anybody on this year's roster

595
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: that could do that? In one of these upcoming preseason games.

596
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: We'll get to that and much more on the other

597
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: side of the break. We're gonna hear from Dawson Knox here.

00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: My head was spinning, couldn't really appreciate what it was

611
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: for what it is. But I think Saint John Fisher

612
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: is awesome. I mean it puts everyone in the dorm rooms.

613
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: You got no choice but kind of start getting close

614
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: to your teammates. And I mean we're playing board games

615
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: and card games at night. You know, all of our

616
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: meals are right there together. It kind of forces the

617
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: team to come together and come together in a good way,

618
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: so that chemistry is really really starting off well. And

619
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: all that stuff is important. Where you can get together

620
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: and seeing these guys and getting to know who they

621
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: are as people rather than just teammates football players. Plus

622
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: there's being back in op They kind of tend to

623
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: condense the day a little bit because well, like now,

624
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: if before you guys do the afternoon stuff or whatever,

625
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: you may get a chance to go up. You can

626
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: go up and lay down for twenty minutes, get off

627
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: your feet, you take a rest, whatever, call the family. Right,

628
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: But in Orchard Park, you're you're going all the time.

629
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: There's no place to go lay down on a cot

630
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: at park, right. So camp, the structure of your day

631
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: to day activity is very different when you do not

632
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: go away from camp, and all the things that make

633
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: it different pluses and minus is sure, but it's teamwork.

634
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: It's also the ability to get rest right at the

635
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: time when you need it. Just go up the elevator,

636
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: lay down, and then get back up and come back down.

637
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: All that's important. And what do you think comparis better? Here?

638
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: Is how different? No doubt it's different. I would say

639
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 1: the only minus about being here is the bat. You know,

640
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: it's a bed, the bed, I mean dorm beds obviously

641
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: aren't going to compete with your own bed at home.

642
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: But besides that, um, just the ability to have a

643
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: thirty minute break, go, lay down, hang out like you mentioned.

644
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, there's the foods always available. Um, and I

645
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: bought an electric scooter, so I'm motoring around campus, going

646
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: up to the bed every chance we get. But yeah,

647
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: like in Orchard Park, all the meetings are back to

648
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: back to back with practice with walk through, so everything's

649
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: condensed so there's not really any off time. And then

650
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: when you're done for the day, everyone leaves. But here,

651
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, you got some space, You got some time

652
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: to lay down right after practice. I know today is different,

653
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: but after a normal day here, you got an hour

654
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: and a half to go kind of decompress, get some food,

655
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: get a little nap in before meetings start, which is

656
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: huge because an Orchard Park, when you go straight from

657
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: practice to shower to meetings, you're larger. Stay awake. Oh,

658
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: no question, Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Yeah,

659
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: that's why they got coffee machines and everybody in there.

660
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: So you talked about the games that you guys would

661
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: play at night. I saw a bunch of Instagram stories

662
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: of you guys, whether it was playing bags, cornhole, whatever

663
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: you want to call it, playing card games and all

664
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: that was there a game that would be the most

665
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: heated every night or certain nights. Um. We love Catan

666
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: set that plays. Um, there's always a big group. U.

667
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: There's always there's about ten different people. Since the group

668
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: has grown, we've started to recruit and started to teach

669
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: people the ways of Catan. So the land of Catan

670
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: has slowly expanded. We actually have two different boards. We've

671
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: got the expansion pack going, but that that gets the

672
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: most heated. UM. And you see alliance to start for

673
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: man and you see people start having been datas against

674
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: other players. It's it's good. It gets the competitive juices

675
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: flowing the team. Yeah, something different, UM, Josh would say him,

676
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: I mean as you would do that. But also I

677
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: got to give a shout out to Greg Mantz. He's uh,

678
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: he's made player on the team. This new players had

679
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: some course, he's a he's got some beginner's luck going

680
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: for him. Right now. We've been here and we've we've

681
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: had national people come in and out of camp and

682
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: then we're they're they're going like like yesterday we had

683
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: Evan Washburn, sideline guy for CBS. He's eve been to

684
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: eleven training camps. Uh. Brian Boldinger has come in, seen

685
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of camps, and we're getting your tidbitch from

686
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: all these different training camps about how it's going for them,

687
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: how it's going for the How much stock do you

688
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: put into and how much can you tell is your

689
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: offense playing really well? Is it gonna be good? Is

690
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: your defense going to be really good? Is it playing well?

691
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: Is it because of the injuries? How much evaluation do

692
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: you think can go into what the team's gonna look

693
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: like in November December is to what it looks like now.

694
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: I think it's all about just making small steps every day.

695
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the first week or so, there's

696
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of rust that we were

697
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: shaking off, guys just getting back into football shape, that

698
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: timing starting to get down with Josh on some routes.

699
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: But the one of the biggest things is you don't

700
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: want to see the same mistake being made. So once

701
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: something gets corrected, you want to see that be handled

702
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: for the rest of the camp. So that's been a

703
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: big thing for us, especially as an offense, if we have,

704
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, camps for making mistakes so you can see

705
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: what you did wrong and so you can correct it.

706
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: Going forward. So after you get some film breakdown, after

707
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: you figure out what went wrong, being able to fix

708
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: it correctly and not be able to go back to

709
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: that same mistake is huge and we've we've done a

710
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: pretty good job of that this last week. Dawson, You've

711
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: played on a lot of football teams in your life.

712
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's there's a type of feel that goes

713
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: into knowing, Okay, this is going to be a good

714
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,959
Speaker 1: team on both sides of the football. Um. By now

715
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: we're in the third week of training camp. Here are

716
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: you starting to get a sense of that feel the

717
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: team that's very similar to last year's team in terms

718
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: of players and personnel. But have you gotten that feel now?

719
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: And now in week three? Like, okay, things are starting

720
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: to move forward, We're starting to get the hang of things.

721
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: It's coming together, yeah, no question. I think one of

722
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: the biggest things right now is just the love that

723
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: you can feel that everyone has for each other. Now,

724
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: there's been a few fights in camp, which happens everywhere.

725
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: You know, though guys are hot and tired and frustrated.

726
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: But it is good. It is good. But that that

727
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: chemistry of being able to come together after practice in

728
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: the locker room being like, hey, man, you know, no

729
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: hard feelings, you're my guy, even though we just fought

730
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: on the field, like we're back to being teammates. Um.

731
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: And that's another great thing that Saint John Fisher does

732
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: for us, said, brings that try together. That's gonna be

733
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: huge for us going forward. You mentioned being here two

734
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: years ago and as a rookie, and I remember as

735
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: a rookie the same thing. How important is it have

736
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: you sit told rookies that it's okay to fail out

737
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: here because you've got to work on the things you're

738
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: not very good at in order to be good enough

739
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 1: all around to make an NFL roster. And how different

740
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: is your training camp now this year than it was

741
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: four years ago. Man, it's night and day. But that

742
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: is huge just making sure the rookies know that there

743
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: are going to be tons of mistakes and that's okay,

744
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: but we just want to see them flying around, have

745
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: an energy, giving it their best effort. So when it

746
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: comes to coaching, we can coach technique, we can work

747
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: on little technical things to fix, but it's it's hard

748
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: to coach effort. So just seeing guys flying around playing

749
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: full speed is huge but letting them know that it's

750
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: okay to mess up here and there is big But

751
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: also for me, like my rookie year, my head was

752
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: spending going from you know, I mean it felt like

753
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: I was going from kindergarten math to college algebra, just

754
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: like that, you know, just with the playbook along. So

755
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: just and where to line up on what routes aron

756
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: was half the battle for me back then. But now

757
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: fourth year in a very similar system, it's kind of

758
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: second nature now. So just being able to work on

759
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: the crucial things like timing with Josh when he's looking

760
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: at me in his progression, and little pass protection techniques

761
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: that I wasn't necessarily able to work on my rookie year.

762
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: Now I can kind of hone in on those little things.

763
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: It'll take it to the next level. Dawston, I'm sure

764
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: if you had your way, all of the tight ends

765
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: would make the fifty three man roster and they'd be around,

766
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: and maybe even more tight ends would be a part

767
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: of the roster. But your guys, Tommy Sweeney and Quinn

768
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: Morris have been battling at out this camp, not necessarily

769
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: against each other, but they've been putting together some really

770
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: good tape. Tommy and Quentin had great catches in practice yesterday.

771
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: Tommy had that diving catch in the back of the

772
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: end zone, that back shoulder grab that he had, then

773
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: threw the ball into the crowd. The team kind of

774
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: went around him and cheered for him. What has it

775
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: been like for you to kind of watch those two

776
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: really improve this camp and put together some eight days

777
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: of practice. Gosh, it's been incredible. Those three catches between

778
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: Tommy's two and Quentin's one yesterday were some of the

779
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: best catches of the whole camp. And so just seeing

780
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: guys in our room make plays like that, it just

781
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: gets everyone hyped up. I mean, the whole tight end

782
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: group on the sidelines running down celebrating with them. I mean,

783
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of another mark for a good team, you know,

784
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: being able to celebrate with your guys that you're competing

785
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: against this huge um. So obviously we wish that everybody

786
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: would make a team, but that's just not the nature

787
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: of this business. But those guys have done an unbelievable

788
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: job put their best foot forward to give them every

789
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: argument as to why they should be on the fifty three.

790
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: When it comes down for it, well, you're one of

791
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: the few guys outside of the offensive line that kind

792
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: of put your hand on the ground and kind of

793
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: feel the vibe was coming out of the offensive line room.

794
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: They've been shuffling around. Sapple's been out, you know, Spencer

795
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: has been in and out, and they've been shuffling guys

796
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: all over the place. How has that gone? What does

797
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: the coaching staff's message been to those guys through all

798
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: this this I certainty about who's gonna line up in practice,

799
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: let alone in games and all that kind of thing. Yeah,

800
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: I mean, hats off to those guys because they could

801
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: come into the locker room right before practice be like, hey,

802
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: you're not playing right guard today, you're playing left house.

803
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievable what those guys can do. I

804
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: can't imagine, you know, being so locked into one position

805
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: than right before practice. Oh, psyche, you're gonna go play

806
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: the other side of the line, or go play a

807
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: completely different position that you're not used to. Yeah, I mean,

808
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: so it's they've they've dealt with those injuries very very well.

809
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: I think when everyone's fresh and ready to go, it's

810
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: going to be forced to be reckoned with You've got

811
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: preseason games coming up. The first one this Saturday against

812
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. Two home games to home preseason games

813
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: this season. As we head into the regular season, a

814
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: lot of guys are gonna get a lot of reps

815
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: that they'll be able to put on tape to help

816
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: them make that fifty three man roster or the practice squad.

817
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: Since since you're a starter, you'll probably get to kind

818
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: of hang out and chill. Sean McDermott said, Josh Allen

819
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: is not going to play on Saturday, and the rest

820
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: is going to be an individual basis. But what are

821
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: some words of advice that you give to some of

822
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: these rookies or these second year players that are fighting

823
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: for a spot on this team. Probably a little bit

824
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: of what I touched on earlier of just doing everything

825
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: full speed, Like even if you're not one hundred percent

826
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: share on what your assignment is, go blow somebody up

827
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: if you're blocking, you know, go run a route full speed.

828
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: If you know, if you're not one hundred percent share,

829
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: first of all, you should ask. But if you're out

830
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: there lined up you're like, oh crap, what do I got?

831
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: Just go do something full speed, you know, make it

832
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: look like you care. Go catch a block. If someone

833
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: else catches the block or catches the ball, go get

834
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: a block down field. Do everything you know all out

835
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: to where you have no regrets at the end of

836
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, even if you block a guy and

837
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: you blow them up, at least they know you can

838
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: blow the guy up at the NFL level, unless they

839
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: coach you up to get the right guy your gold exactly.

840
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you this. You're now established and like

841
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: Maggie said, you're probably beating sunflower seeds on Saturday afternoon.

842
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: But for me, I remember this. It's like, it's kind

843
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: of cool that you've established yourself to the point where like,

844
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: you know what we're you're good, we know what you

845
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: can do. You're part of our team. We're gonna be

846
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: going and that's kind of cool. But after going to

847
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: training camp and going through all of this and you

848
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: get out there in the game day and the crowd

849
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: of stuff, and I won't play right. It's a double

850
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: edged sword, right, Yeah, Yeah, So I mean it kind

851
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: of sounds good in your head, Okay, day off, get

852
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: to cheer some other guys off, But when you get

853
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 1: out there and see the crowd going, everyone warming up

854
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: in the pads with the game day music going, You're like, dude,

855
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: give me my Pad's bad. I know, but I mean

856
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: that's it'll be good to kind of channel that energy

857
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: towards the first game. Yeah, Dawson, one final question for me,

858
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 1: is there one thing that you can take away from

859
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: this training camp maybe that you didn't know about the

860
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: team going into it. I know you've been around for

861
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 1: a few seasons, but but one thing maybe that stood

862
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: out to you. Yeah, there's really not a single guy

863
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: on this team that is disliked. You know that. You know,

864
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: you always hear about there's a couple of guys on

865
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: every team that no one really wants to hang out

866
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: with outside of football. Even with the new guys, they've

867
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: just jelled so well with everybody that you see everybody

868
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: hanging out And how unique is that thought too. You've

869
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: been a part of a lot of teams, Like I

870
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: said before, Yeah, it almost feels like a college atmosphere

871
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: with you know, I didn't know what to expect going

872
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 1: from college to the league. I had heard some crazy

873
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: stories of guys doing their own thing, you know, guys

874
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 1: having their separate marketing deals and you know, owning whatever

875
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: they do. On the side and not really hanging out

876
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,479
Speaker 1: with the team. But I mean it really, it really

877
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 1: does feel like a family. I know that's a cliche,

878
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: but everyone's always hanging out with each other, going out

879
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: to dinner, golfing together on the off days. It really

880
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: is kind of like a brotherhood that we got gone,

881
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: which is pretty Let me ask you this philosophical question,

882
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: This would be the the last one for me. What do

883
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: you think it happens? Is it? Do you have to have?

884
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: Do you have chemistry to win? Or if just winning

885
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: breed chemistry. I think it's a little of both. Um.

886
00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: We always talk about how execution brings energy, so I

887
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: think the better you can perform on the field, the

888
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: natural energy is just going to keep increasing. Um. So

889
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: I think you need chemistry to win. There's no doubt,

890
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: which I mean this team has that right, But I

891
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: think as the wins continue that chemistry only gets better

892
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: and better and better because being able to celebrate with

893
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: you guys after a big win and being able to

894
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: you know, handle adversity and get through it with a

895
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: guys just is going to bring about chemistry like you can't.

896
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: All right, one more quick one because you brought it

897
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: up how is the golf game here in Rochester. I

898
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: actually got to play oh Kill the other day, which

899
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: was unbelievable, nicest of course I've ever played. I mean,

900
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 1: my golf games terrible. I shot like a one oh three.

901
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: I really wanted to I really wanted to break one hundred.

902
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: I started golfing about a year year and a half ago.

903
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: But it's just such a frustrating sport that I can't

904
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: really turn on that competitive switch or I'll get too mad.

905
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: But it's such a fun, relaxing activity to go do.

906
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: I get out as much as I can. Dawson, thanks

Speaker 1: the Roopier floats. That sounds absolutely amazing. We're gonna get

925
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: to some news and notes because there's some things that

926
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: are happening right now in the NFL. The latest is

927
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: that sources are saying that Dwayne Brown is going to

928
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: sign a two year deal with the New York Jets,

929
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 1: two years, apparently twenty two million dollar deal. According to

930
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter. This comes after right tackle McKay Beckton. McKay

931
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: Beckton is likely sideline for the entire season with a

932
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 1: knee injury. Feel for the guy, he just cannot get

933
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: onto the field with such a high draft pick, I mean,

934
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: the measurables of him. People were excited to see a

935
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: guy his size get on the field, but it seems

936
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 1: like he can't just make that happen. So the Jets

937
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: are going to have to pull out the piggy bank,

938
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: uh and pay up for Dwayne Brown. He's an Yeah,

939
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: he's an absolute giant, is McKay Beckton, but he's been,

940
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 1: you know, staggered by injuries over the last two years.

941
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: He missed all the last years. You're gonna miss this

942
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: year with a training camp injury. But Dwayne Brown is

943
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: a guy who is a really good player, as you

944
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: as you said, five time Pro Bowl player, but he's

945
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: he's long in the two. I think he's thirty seven

946
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: thirty eight years old. So we'll have to see how

947
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,720
Speaker 1: effective he can be. But certainly the Jets doing everything

948
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: they can to protect Zach Wilson and give themselves a

949
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: chance to win some games this year. Another thing that

950
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: we saw today, James White, the running back, is retiring.

951
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: Spent a good chunk of his career, the entirety with

952
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots. What do you what do you think to

953
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: see a guy like him retire? I mean, yeah, I

954
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:58,919
Speaker 1: was drafted in twenty fourteen, twenty one has a few

955
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,959
Speaker 1: Super Bowl rings us, and it's interesting that he's gonna

956
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: he's choosing now to retire. He came back and just

957
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: realize it just didn't have it anymore. Didn't want to

958
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: dredge up the you know, the effort that was going

959
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: to take to get through a season for the New

960
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: England Patriots. And maybe, and I'm speculating, maybe he saw

961
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: what a lot of people have been reporting that this

962
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 1: team is not going to go anywhere, and why would

963
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,320
Speaker 1: he come back and put the effort into a season

964
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 1: that wasn't going to be worth it? Speaking of people

965
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: saying that this team, the Patriots, may not go anywhere,

966
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: Apparently Mac Jones and a lot of their starters aren't

967
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: going to play in their first preseason game. Does that?

968
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 1: Were you if you're a Patriots fan with that, were

969
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: you at all to hear what's been coming out of

970
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: training camp? And then here, all right, the guys who

971
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: maybe haven't been performing like they should on the field

972
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: and practices also aren't going to get maybe some extra

973
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: repts that they need in preseason games. I don't know.

974
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: I don't think I would think too much about it.

975
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: They've still got two more games to go. Um, I

976
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: think they'll probably get some reps in the third game.

977
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: They may not play this next the next game, either

978
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: the first two games, but I think you can bet

979
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 1: that the reports will start to improve around training camp

980
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: for the for the Patriots, they'll start to look a

981
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: little better, they start to play sharper, they'll have some success,

982
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: and by the time season one rolls around, they'll be

983
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: reason a little bit, a reason for a little bit

984
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: more optimism than they've been experiencing now. So no, I

985
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: think this is all part of what they do. We

986
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: want any optimism coming out and don't know or we're

987
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: ready for them to, you know, for the entire place

988
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,760
Speaker 1: to go up in flames. But um, yeah, I'm sure

989
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 1: that it is not. I'm sure that the Patriots are

990
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: not going to put a non competitive football team on

991
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 1: the field this year, and they're gonna win their share.

992
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got we've got our feet up on

993
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: the table, chilling, uafcast teams, having a tough time at

994
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: training camp. We're rolling over everybody. It'll be great. Yeah,

995
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: it's easy to say that now, and it's and then

996
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: this is the time a season where everybody's optimistic despite

997
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: what they're saying about the Patriots, everybody's own l that's right.

998
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: The Patriots were playoff team last year with a rookie quarterback.

999
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: We'll see, everybody has reason to be optimistic and everybody

1000
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: has question marks they have to answer, including this team,

1001
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: the Bills, who are the favorites for the Super Bowl.

1002
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, it doesn't bother me or surprise me that

1003
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: Mac Jones and a lot of the starters are gonna

1004
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: sit down because even with a roster like the Bills,

1005
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: and you certainly know it's true with the Patriots, they

1006
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys they don't know enough about,

1007
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: and that's who they want to find out about, not

1008
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: the guys they know they're gonna have on. And you

1009
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 1: want to avoid injuries. The injuries happen in training camp practices,

1010
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: they can happen in preseason games as well. You want

1011
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: to avoid that type of stuff. All right, break time

1012
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: for us. When we come back, we are going to

1013
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: hear from Mica Hide, he spokes with media after the

1014
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: last training camp practice in Rochester. Stick around for that.

1015
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: We'll get to our Twitter question as well. Who will

1016
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,439
Speaker 1: be Buffalo's preseason darling this year? All coming up next

Speaker 1: Saturday is extremely unique. I've had asked Brownie. I have

1054
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: not been able to keep it straight in my head

1055
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: all for a month leading up to this, So I'm

1056
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. Andrew Catalan my friend who from

1057
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 1: CBS who for those of you who don't know he's

1058
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,760
Speaker 1: he's a CBS play by play guy for the NFL.

1059
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: I think his booth mate is James Lofton. And I

1060
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: have known Andrew for ten over a decade because when

1061
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: CBS gave him his first shot to come in, all right,

1062
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you have one game to see if

1063
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: you can do it. I was the guy that he

1064
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: was compared with, and so Andrew and I've been friends

1065
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: for that long. We also we also worked together for

1066
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: a number of years with CBS as well, and I've

1067
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: been friends ever since. And he's been doing the Bills

1068
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: broadcast with me for years as well. So Andrew will

1069
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: be in town for that and looking forward to it.

1070
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 1: But it's going to be a weekend. It's going to

1071
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: be a spectacular game. I can't wait to see the

1072
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 1: Bills take the field um and against Frank and the Colts.

1073
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,720
Speaker 1: How often? How often does that group get to be together?

1074
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking group Bills like that will be together for

1075
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly's at least once a year because Jim Jim

1076
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: brings him back for his tournament once a year and

1077
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: then well this is a kind of a confluence because

1078
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: Frank's in town with the colts. Okay, so you can

1079
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 1: bet that extra guys are coming in town to see that,

1080
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 1: uh they want and plus spend a weekend here. You know,

1081
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be playing golf Saturday and Sunday leading

1082
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: up to the tournament on Monday. Um, yes, it's it's

1083
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun. And so I don't know,

1084
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: are weekends like that? Do you just laugh more than

1085
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: more than you probably do? Stories, do a lot of

1086
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: things more than on weekends. Have a couple more pops,

1087
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: there's a few more cigars, stay up a little later

1088
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: a little too much. Uh And yes, um, yeah, you'll

1089
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: we'll be hanging out. So I'll introduce you to the

1090
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: old guys. Like it's like it's like college friends. You

1091
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,479
Speaker 1: get together and you you laugh till till you feel

1092
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: like you have a six paces even I think it's

1093
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: even a step beyond college buddies. Although everybody has really

1094
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 1: close friends and you know who's who's to say your

1095
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: friends aren't as close to you as mine. Art of me,

1096
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,240
Speaker 1: But you know, it's diff it's a little bit unique

1097
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: because these guys. Uh, you usually can't say your best friends.

1098
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: You guys went. You know, I didn't go to the

1099
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: super Bowl with my friends. But here's the different thing.

1100
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 1: It's not just going to the super Bowl. It's you

1101
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: got hurt, physically needed surgeries and broke My arm got broken,

1102
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: my hands got broken multiple times on behalf of those guys,

1103
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: and they did it for me. That adds a dimension

1104
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: to the friendship that's that's hard to explain. And you

1105
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 1: watched I watched those guys, you know, I watched those guys.

1106
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sitting there getting my ankles taped and

1107
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: they're getting this taped and this shot here in someplace

1108
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: that you know, they hurt, and they hurt and still

1109
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: suffered through it and went out and played for my

1110
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: benefit as well. So it's a different dimension that lasts

1111
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: a long time. And I told you, you you know, I

1112
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: got that the text League with the five Presidents and

1113
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: they still talk. Darryl Talley is getting inducted into the

1114
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: College of Hula Bowl, the Hula Bowl Hall of Fame,

1115
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: So number fifty six, Darrel Talley is getting inducted into

1116
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: another hall of fame. So good for him. So that

1117
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: kind of stuff gets talked about it. We'll do it

1118
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: this weekend. It's a confluence of events because of this

1119
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: preseason game. Jim used to have it the first Monday

1120
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: of June and he had because of COVID some other things.

1121
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: He moved it now till like the third weekend in

1122
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: August or sometime. I'm not sure exactly when exactly it's

1123
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: going to be every year, but it's gonna be in August.

1124
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: So now this preseason game coincides with it, and because

1125
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: of that, this game will be very special as a

1126
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: preseason game. We want to get to our tweet sheet

1127
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: before we get to our Micah Hyde presser. Our question

1128
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: is who will be the Bills this preseason? Darling this year?

1129
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: Christian Wade was it a couple of years ago. Who's

1130
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: going to be that player that stands out in this

1131
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: first preseason game? Second one, We've got our first one

1132
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: from j T. He says, I believe Khalil Shakier is

1133
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: going to ball out and earn a spot on this

1134
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster and contribute a lot in the

1135
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: regular season. Also, Elam is going to really show up,

1136
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: finally getting some reps against other team receivers will be

1137
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: huge for him. Last I will say OJ will flourish.

1138
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: What do you think about JT? He had a couple

1139
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: couple players, So Khalil, Shakier Kaier Elam and Oj Howard

1140
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: are our couple names that he's bringing up as a

1141
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: few bills that will be the preseason Darling, Yeah, it's

1142
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: a good one. Khalil has flashed already. If he's playing

1143
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: as well as we think he is, he may be

1144
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: to the point right now as a rookie where they

1145
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: give him one or two orders to sit him down too.

1146
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: You know, I think it could be a kid like

1147
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 1: Christian Benford the corner in a year where we thought

1148
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: we were going to be neck deep in corners, now

1149
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,439
Speaker 1: they're even deeper than they thought. I certainly think now

1150
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: even now, I think Kyer Elam's a better right now

1151
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: and playing better than Benford is. But Benford has not

1152
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: shied away from it and has a chance to make

1153
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,919
Speaker 1: this roster the fifty three man roster as a late

1154
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: round pick. Some of it will have to do whether

1155
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: he can cover kicks and help him out in other ways,

1156
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: but as a corner, he's got some things they like,

1157
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: most notably traits. He's big and strong, yeah, and he's

1158
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 1: athletic enough. So I think a kid like Benford Bernard

1159
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: the linebacker as well. We may get some guys for

1160
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: the first time being Camp darlings that are on the

1161
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball instead of like Christian Wade.

1162
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: Christian Wade was a couple of years ago. You know

1163
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: where he busted a couple of touchdowns in the preseason.

1164
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,479
Speaker 1: I think we may see it on the other side

1165
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: of the ball this time. You're thinking alike to Jack,

1166
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: because Jack says on defense, Christian Benford, who's made a

1167
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: lot of noise at Camp, I bet he'll translate that

1168
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: to preseason and have us all eager to see more

1169
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: of him on offense. Jack, you were thinking, like me,

1170
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna name this guy as well. You watched

1171
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: Tanner Gentry make a bunch of plays in the third

1172
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: and fourth quarter of these games and have us talking

1173
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: that he should make it. He's Josh's buddy. Yes, those

1174
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: two played together at Wyoming together in college, and Tanner

1175
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: Gentry I think it was the return of the Blue

1176
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: and Red had some really nice catches. He's somebody that

1177
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: the ball will get fired over to him. Whether it's

1178
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: Josh case Keenum or Matt Barkley. That kid makes a

1179
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: lot of plays when he's fed the ball. So I'm

1180
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: excited to watch what Tayner Gentry can do. He's been

1181
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: around this team for a couple of years now, has

1182
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: been on the practice squad, so we'll see what his

1183
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: status is. I mean, you could name any position group

1184
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: and say it's gonna be tough to see who's gonna

1185
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: make the fifty three or who's even gonna be on

1186
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: the practice squad. A lot of players in the wide

1187
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: receiver room, a lot of players in the cornerback room.

1188
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm equally as excited to see Christian Benford. He was

1189
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: that bigger corner that when the Bills drafted him, Leslie

1190
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: Fraser said, you know, he's a bigger type of guy.

1191
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: He could play safety. We see him playing more as

1192
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: a cornerback. He has been a very physical cornerback and

1193
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: has gotten some reps against some bigger name wide receivers

1194
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: on this team, like Gabe Davis and Stefan Diggs, and

1195
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: just like kier Elam, has not backed down from the challenge.

1196
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: He's had past breakups against some of these starters on

1197
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: this offense, So it's really been fun to see him,

1198
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: as young as he is, kind of pop out and

1199
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: show what he's got in some of these practices. We're

1200
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: gonna get to the rest later in the show, but

1201
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: how out we get to some Micah hide sound all right,

1202
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: let's hear what one of the veterans on this team

1203
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: has to say as train camp is closing down here

1204
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: in Rochetts. Um Poe's always gonna work, obviously back on

1205
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: the field. That's what he loves to do. So that's

1206
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: at least of my words. Right now. How are you?

1207
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: How are you feeling great? Good? Um? Had a little uh,

1208
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Bruce got a little bruised up, you know, a couple

1209
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 1: of days in the camp, but uh, I'm a fast healer,

1210
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: still young, so uh I'm able to heal fast and

1211
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 1: get back out there and run around with these young guys.

1212
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,479
Speaker 1: Brown there, you're kind of thinking your head go up that. No,

1213
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 1: not at all, Um, you know I you kind of Uh.

1214
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: I love interceptions. Um, So anything I can do, even

1215
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: if it's put my my body in a compromise the position,

1216
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. Um. Obviously it's best for so

1217
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: it's best for the team. Best with the defense. Yeah right, yeah, yes,

1218
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 1: playing and what happened? Yeah, um, great play by by

1219
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: k good eyes by him. Um seniors receiver run run

1220
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: that route instead of uh, instead of blocking um he

1221
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 1: I think he turned his head at the last second,

1222
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: got his head around a little bit, bounced off his

1223
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: pads and I was just right there, just trying to

1224
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 1: host to the ball. So um, you know, it was

1225
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: just one of those plays that you know, right moment,

1226
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: right time, it does. After the play, what do you

1227
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 1: what are you talking? What are you talking about? Now?

1228
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: We're just we're having fun. Every day. There's a lot

1229
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: of smack talk between you know, especially dbs and receivers. So, um,

1230
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, I got pushed off to the sideline a

1231
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: little bit and and and Gabby was the one that

1232
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: did it. So I kind of had to show my

1233
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: QB skills and from twenty yards out and think him

1234
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: in the head. Yeah, I took I was a QB man.

1235
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: You're working on your own stuff. In preseason camp, they

1236
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: take us into you've been in the sleep walking up.

1237
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: What do you need to start focusing and thinking about?

1238
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and all Robinson and Matthew Stafford, like when

1239
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 1: does that transition start to occur for you. Well, I

1240
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: think that even uh, even then once they came out

1241
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: the schedule. UM, you know, you kind of have an

1242
01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 1: understanding of you know what what you know previous game

1243
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: games which you've you know, what you've done against them,

1244
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: what they've done against you. So the thinking's already started.

1245
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: Um as far as you know, watching unlimited amounts of

1246
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: film and all that type of stuff. Um, you know,

1247
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: we've we've been in training camp mode. So um but

1248
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, sally, but surely that's gonna continue, It's gonna

1249
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna start happening, and um, we're all excited to

1250
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: get to that points. A lot to focus on how

1251
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: much you guys have playing in the preseason, how how

1252
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: much do you get at it even days like today

1253
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: in terms of getting you in that mode as you

1254
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: ramp up to the season. If you were to go

1255
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: in a preseason game for a couple of series or whatever.

1256
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: But here, I think it's important, um number one, to

1257
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: to go live before week one. I think that's that's

1258
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, that's huge. Um. At the same time, I

1259
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: think that when you when you do it in practice

1260
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: kind of like today, it's it's kind of more controlled. Um,

1261
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, Sean's able to have an early whistle. You know,

1262
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: guys are are you know, creating a pile. No one's

1263
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: gonna diving on each other. And so in the game

1264
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: it's it's free for all. So, um, you know, I

1265
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 1: think it's more. I think it's you know, a lot

1266
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: safer in practice to do it then then a games

1267
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: and you know, going against our offense with a great quarterback,

1268
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 1: great receivers, run game, all that type of stuff. You know,

1269
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: it's it's putting a lot of pressure on our defense.

1270
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: So you know, um we're getting you know, a very

1271
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: good looking practice. And so you know, going out in

1272
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 1: the preseason and risking injuries, um, you know might not

1273
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: be something we want to do in some ways because

1274
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 1: it's your teammates for the competition level ramp up a

1275
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 1: little more than maybe in a preseason game. We got

1276
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 1: to see these guys every day. Uh, especially when you

1277
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: guys got you got guys like a little dirty and

1278
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: and Gabby and Digs. You know that just you know,

1279
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: the receivers, they just love to talk smack. Uh, you know,

1280
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: it's everyday thing and and uh, you know we know

1281
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: that going into the season. If they if they beat

1282
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: us in training camp, they're gonna continue to talk about that. So,

1283
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, we can't let that happen. Has been how

1284
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: far this team has gone the last two years and

1285
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: how how it's also falls short when you walk to

1286
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 1: practice and to that find a way thing? What does

1287
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 1: that band there? What does that mean to you? And

1288
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: what what do you get out of seeing that? Knowing

1289
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 1: where this team has been and how far it still

1290
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: needs to go. Yeah, I mean, I just just find

1291
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: a way to get it done. Um, you know, find

1292
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: a way to to kind of overcome that mentality of

1293
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to lift today, I don't

1294
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: want to practice today, I don't want to do whatever

1295
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 1: it is today, watch film. Um, you know, find a

1296
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: way to get it done. And so you know, it's

1297
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: kind of you know what we've been talking about the

1298
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: last couple of years, and um, it holds true. That's

1299
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 1: that's the difference. That's the thing that we'll get this

1300
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: team gone. Yeah, I hope. So, you know, I think

1301
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: we all believe, we all believe that we have the team.

1302
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: We have the guys who have the coaches, we have

1303
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: the you know, the guys and the people in this

1304
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: organization to get it done. Um, you know we understand that.

1305
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: You know, when a lose come playoff time, it's it

1306
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: could be a flip of a coin. Um, you know,

1307
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 1: it could it could be you know, one yard, it

1308
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 1: could be whatever it is. So UM, you know you's

1309
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 1: got to be as detail as possible and and hopefully

1310
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: come you know, playoffs will be able to get done.

1311
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: I think a voice called him Gabby. Uh. I don't

1312
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know how it started.

1313
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: I just tried to call him Gabby. I don't know

1314
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 1: he was possible for that. Being on good Jersey behind you,

1315
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: probably he probably, yeah, he probably put the gum on

1316
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: the back of my journey. Yeah, some childish he would

1317
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 1: do evaluate your field goal. You see me in high school.

1318
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: You know you knew what I was about. That's another

1319
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 1: another position that we're battling for between UH, myself, Bitcoin

1320
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 1: Barkley and UH and Dawson. Um. We we all want

1321
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: to be number two behind bass and so you know,

1322
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: we're always competing talking junk. But you know, it's fun.

1323
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: It's fun because you know, we all keeps field goal

1324
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: in high school until we're out there trying to trying

1325
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: to compete, and that's another thing we talked about, safe

1326
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 1: the competition, more thoughts, saying that my word, I love

1327
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: the pressure. Um. He tried to they tried to get

1328
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: this nervous yesterday, saying the fans are here. I'm I

1329
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 1: don't care like I'm gonna kick this field goal. I'm

1330
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 1: gonna make it too. So I tried to tell him

1331
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 1: to back it up, but they didn't want to do it.

1332
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: So I'm on good, I'm I'm on for it. Questions

1333
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: to Pontius and then Jomar handling this camp. Um, you know,

1334
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: guys have been in this system for a couple of

1335
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: years now. UM. Always willing to work. Um, you know

1336
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: they they they following the footsteps of Poem myself of

1337
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: as far as you know, getting up in the morning,

1338
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: getting to work out in obviously come season, UM, they're

1339
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 1: in the training room with us, you know, trying to

1340
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 1: get their bodies right. So you know, I think that

1341
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 1: they're adapting to you know, UM, to our system and

1342
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 1: how we run things in Buffalo. UM and always willing

1343
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: to work. So you know, it's a process. It's a

1344
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 1: process from from day one as a rookie to to

1345
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: where they are now, and I think that they're understanding that. Um,

1346
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm still making mistakes that I'm trying

1347
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: to correct and this is your ten for myself. So um,

1348
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 1: but these young guys are always you know, continue to work.

1349
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 1: Guys have been in the room and you're familiar with

1350
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: this is your first training camp where trades not they're pricing,

1351
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: he said, feel weird? Was it? Was? It weird to

1352
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: seeing kind of off on the side. Note, you know

1353
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 1: who was on the field with us, But as soon

1354
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: as you hop off the field and you step into

1355
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: the locker room, you can hear him, so it's like

1356
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: he's on the field. It's like he's around twenty four

1357
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,640
Speaker 1: seven because he's to davious and he's loud and he's

1358
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: always talking about something crazy. So uh, yeah, you know,

1359
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate he's you know, able to be out there

1360
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: with us. But you see him on the sideline running

1361
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 1: sprints and running faster than anybody and getting his body right,

1362
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 1: and I think he's getting his mind right too. So um,

1363
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, we're all happy for him on defense Saturday.

1364
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: How beneficial do you think it will be? Because I

1365
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: think Matt Ryan's gonna be playing a quarter Frank Rike

1366
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: I already announced that. How beneficial is that could be

1367
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: facing to his defense for backups or who remember, it

1368
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: could be faced on Matt Ryan. But at Baham. Well,

1369
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 1: I think it's important for young guys who go out

1370
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: there and just kind of get their game preparation. Um,

1371
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 1: you know, the mindset the day before, staying in the hotel,

1372
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 1: getting the routine the next morning. Um, you know it's

1373
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 1: what is it, four o'clock, five o'clock start, whatever it is. Uh,

1374
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, the build up to the game of the

1375
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: day of. You know what you're gonna eat, what you're

1376
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: gonna wear uniform wise, So it's kind of the mindset

1377
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: going into the game. It's important. I know when I

1378
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,719
Speaker 1: was a young guy and my first preseason game, um

1379
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 1: it was against the I think Arizona Cardinals, and I

1380
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 1: went out there and I was lined up against Larry

1381
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald and I was like, what the hell am I

1382
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 1: doing out here? Like this is this is insane. So

1383
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 1: it's good to get you know, all that welcome to

1384
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: the NFL moments out and so I'm sure that some

1385
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 1: of young guys gonna go out there and see Matt

1386
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: Ryan and be like this is crazy. Um, but at

1387
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I go out there and compete.

1388
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: It's your job, and so UM, yeah, I think it's

1389
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 1: it's important. This is how quickly is it? Get in

1390
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 1: the car and get home. I bet you some guys

1391
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: are already gone. Um I was, you know, sign to

1392
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 1: autograph on the shower. I'm gonna pack my pack my

1393
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 1: bags up in my room, but I guarantee some guys

1394
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 1: that already up out of here. So I'm gonna get

1395
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: one last turkey burger and get on the road. Um.

1396
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: You know, just another guy who's been here for for

1397
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: a while and those a system, those were just talking about. Um.

1398
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like at this point we're able

1399
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 1: to plug in place you know, different coaches in different

1400
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: rooms just because you know, we've been around each other

1401
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: so much. We all know each other. We know how

1402
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, coaching styles and and stuff like that. So, UM,

1403
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy's a unique guy that's able to to you know,

1404
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,640
Speaker 1: bring his expertise into our room. UM. It's kind of

1405
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, we've we've been with Bobby Um as you

1406
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,799
Speaker 1: know for the last five years. So having Jimmy stepping

1407
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 1: in our room and kind of just see things differently.

1408
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 1: Also having you know, Bobby's input in our minds of

1409
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,759
Speaker 1: how he would coach things. Just uh, you know, brings

1410
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: in different dynamics, be getting into training. Can you talked

1411
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: about having that competitive mad just probably more competitive than

1412
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 1: anybody you know on this team. Yeah, I had X

1413
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 1: amount of frights you probably more than you know you've

1414
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 1: ever been here. Yeah, I mean, just care to talk

1415
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: about your assessment on that. And you know the demeanor

1416
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: with this community grown man, uh trying to uh earn

1417
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 1: earn a roster spot. That's what it is. Man. We're

1418
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: all hungry. Um. I think it's obviously know one guy's

1419
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: going out there getting hurt, breaking hands and stuff like that.

1420
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 1: But as long as that's not happening. You know, guys

1421
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 1: are competitive and understand that we're all competing for jobs.

1422
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: So um, you know you'll see me in a fifteen

1423
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 1: twenty yards away letting him go at it. I don't

1424
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 1: got enough energy for all that, but uh, you know,

1425
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: it's just guys competing for jobs. And um, you know,

1426
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: when sometimes it gets hot, it gets uh it's a

1427
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 1: little sticky out there. Fire bullets are firing, firing. You

1428
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: just want to you know, start and start fighting. I

1429
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: guess or a year or two, my guy, would he

1430
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: have been in the mix. Uh yeah, I might have

1431
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: found a receiver too to kind of you know, get

1432
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 1: going with I'm not stepping in with those big boys though.

1433
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: How different has it been, you know, just camp and

1434
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,679
Speaker 1: are there any other camp you've been in part of everything?

1435
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: How's it different? Oh? Um? Different people? Um. I think

1436
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: just kind of Sean's message, um, going into this year. Um,

1437
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, like we just talked about finding a way

1438
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 1: that's kind of been our message for for with the

1439
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: team meetings and and step onto the practice field. UM.

1440
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 1: I don't know as far as different. I mean, it's

1441
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 1: kind of just you You come here, you're go into

1442
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 1: the dorm rooms. It's like Groundhog Day. Every day you

1443
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: wake up, you work out, your practice, your watch film.

1444
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: So you know, one day at a time and next

1445
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:04,679
Speaker 1: thing you know, it's you know, we're breaking camp today.

1446
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 1: Physicality carrying over now into the season and you guys,

1447
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: once she finally grew up against side regular season opponents. Yeah,

1448
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 1: I would like to think so. Um, you know those

1449
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: guys and especially in the trenches, have been putting a

1450
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: lot of work offensive and defensive line. Um, we have

1451
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, good side of the good side of the ball.

1452
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: You know, talented guys. So they've been competing. Obviously they

1453
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: start with the physicality and then on the back end.

1454
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: You know, anytime you can get quarter corners that can tackle,

1455
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 1: and safeties that can tackle, and and our linebackers going

1456
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:33,960
Speaker 1: sideline sideline, you know, we can be pretty physical. So

1457
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: that's that's something that we're gonna try to carry into

1458
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 1: the regl of season. All right, Micah Hyde had that

1459
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 1: turkey burger and he said he was getting out of

1460
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 1: Rochester to head back to Orchard Park. You also had

1461
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 1: your turkey par turkey burger today. Check it off the

1462
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: list one more time they worked. They didn't have it

1463
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 1: for a while, and I'd forgotten about it, so I went,

1464
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 1: Apparently we were eating all of them. They've had to

1465
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 1: pretty much go all over Rochester to find out where

1466
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: extra turkey breders were because the team and local media

1467
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: and you and I were eating them drying. That's it.

1468
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 1: We ate him. I had my first one was today though,

1469
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:10,680
Speaker 1: with the last day at camp. That's maybe I was

1470
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: why we got there early enough and nobody was eating

1471
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 1: lunch here. They were all taken off, so we finally

1472
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 1: got one. Yeah, yeah, it was good. I had one

1473
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:18,640
Speaker 1: Turkey Brier at this camp. It was pretty good at

1474
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:20,680

01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back into One Bills Live.

1483
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 1: Mattie Glabins step tasker here alongside Greg Connors of Connors

1484
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: and Ferris. He's a founding partner. He's joining us here

1485
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: to kind of wrap up Training Camp, the show that

1486
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:13,759
Speaker 1: Saint John Fisher puts on alongside with you and Connors

1487
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: and Ferris. It's absolutely amazing what happens over a couple

1488
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 1: weeks leading up to camp being here for three weeks long.

1489
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: I know we kind of did a two year hiatus

1490
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 1: where we had to be in Buffalo due to COVID nineteen.

1491
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 1: But what has it been like to have the Bills

1492
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: back in Rochester and have you be such a big

1493
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 1: part of training camp? This has been absolutely amazing. The

1494
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: energy and the excitement that the Bills mafia has brought

1495
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: back to Rochester after a little hiatus due to some

1496
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 1: unfortunate circumstances has been absolutely incredible. I mean when you

1497
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,719
Speaker 1: walk out here and the players walk through the tunnel

1498
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: and you hear screams and everybody cheering for the team

1499
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:51,560
Speaker 1: has been so much fun to see. So you're a

1500
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: Rochester guy, so you hear the conversation year round about

1501
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:58,520
Speaker 1: the Bills and what does it mean, you know, for Rochester,

1502
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: for the people you work with, for the the guy

1503
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: on the street, and what do the people say about

1504
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 1: the Bills coming back here? And certainly a big chunk

1505
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 1: of the followers every Sunday could drive over from Rochester

1506
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: season ticket holders, the whole nine yard sweet holders, everything.

1507
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: So what's the conversation like during the season and the

1508
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 1: lead up to training camp before anybody's here, You know,

1509
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 1: I have to tell you. I mean, I'm originally from

1510
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 1: Hornell in New York, which is just south of Rochester

1511
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: and went to alphad University, which is in the southern tier.

1512
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 1: So the Buffalo Bills are all about the Finger Lakes,

1513
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:28,559
Speaker 1: it's all about Central New York. It's all about Rochester.

1514
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 1: So you'd walk into a restaurant and you would be

1515
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: just talking to people on the street or at Wegmans,

1516
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 1: and they'd be talking about the Bills coming in the

1517
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 1: camp and so having that excitement and making I always

1518
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 1: say it makes Roster relevant for two or three weeks

1519
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 1: a year. Um, Roster gets relevant when the PGA shows

1520
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 1: up every ten years. But right now, I mean just

1521
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 1: the exposure in the excitement that having the team here

1522
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:54,600
Speaker 1: has to the people of Western New York and in

1523
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: Roster is absolutely amazing. Everybody just talks about it. You

1524
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 1: can't you can't help just talk about the excitement and

1525
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 1: the energy that the Bills bring to the area. Right So,

1526
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: Connors and Ferris has been a proud sponsor of the

1527
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills training camp since twenty fourteen here at Saint

1528
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 1: John Fisher. I'm sure you have so many memories since

1529
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen with all the training camps that have been

1530
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,880
Speaker 1: done here at this beautiful campus. What has been one

1531
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 1: of your favorite memories of this training camp. Well, one

1532
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: of my favorite memories of training camp is one of

1533
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 1: the first days is when you had you had digs

1534
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 1: in Elam going one on once. Right, It's like it's

1535
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 1: like in the first twenty minutes at camp and he

1536
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 1: jumps in line and he's taking him on one on

1537
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,600
Speaker 1: one and the fans are going crazy. The energy in

1538
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 1: the excitement in a one on one drill at practice

1539
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: was incredible. And that's what the Bills mafia is, That's

1540
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 1: what Roster loves. That's how much they love the Buffalo Bills.

1541
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 1: That to me, he was like, Okay, we're back, We're here. Yeah. Yeah.

1542
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 1: One of the things about is the high expectations that

1543
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: have companied the team. Everybody's here. I mean, this has

1544
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 1: been like no other training camp all because of the expectations.

1545
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: I've said it too there. The expectations haven't been this

1546
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: high since ninety one regular season, after they've been to

1547
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl twenty five and they lost, you know, the

1548
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: game by a missed field goal. Coming back with the

1549
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: same crew and you know they weren't here, but this

1550
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 1: is the first time now they their expectations were high

1551
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 1: last year after the twenty twenty year when they got

1552
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: out of the ABC Championship Game. But man, oh man,

1553
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: this year, even all across the nation, the expectations are

1554
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 1: through the roof. That has changed things for this camp

1555
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: as well. Oh, it sure has. And at the end

1556
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 1: of the last season, I mean, look, we all cried, right,

1557
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 1: I mean every Bills fan, every part of the Bills mafia,

1558
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: no matter where you've lived, whether it was California or

1559
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 1: Florida or Western Yorda, we all cried after that. But

1560
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 1: what we all did is that after that, as we

1561
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:47,600
Speaker 1: then looked forward to this camp. You looked forward to

1562
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: them coming in and to see the way camp started

1563
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: out and the way coach McDermott and Brandon Bean has

1564
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: assembled the team, and you got Fine Miller here, we've

1565
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,679
Speaker 1: got different parts of the puzzle now. That just gives

1566
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:58,519
Speaker 1: you that excitement and energy to say, you know what,

1567
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: this could be our year. And then national media's really

1568
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 1: recognizing that. And there's nothing more exciting than to have

1569
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 1: the old days back like when see you played. To

1570
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:10,639
Speaker 1: have that energy to Jim Kelly comes to practice, other

1571
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: Bills legends coming to practice. You know it's going to

1572
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 1: be a special year when you have guys like that

1573
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 1: hanging around. And I'm sure it's also awesome to walk

1574
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:22,679
Speaker 1: up to practice every morning and see it packed with fans.

1575
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember in the beginning when training camps

1576
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: were starting for all the other teams, since we started

1577
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: a few days early because we're playing the season opening game,

1578
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 1: but you would log on to Twitter and you'd see

1579
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 1: other teams all I won't name the names, but that

1580
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:40,839
Speaker 1: had no fans support. And to so to see packed

1581
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 1: bleachers and grandstands and standing room only at a place

1582
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:48,400
Speaker 1: like this, How has it been for you to see

1583
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 1: this training camp get bigger and bigger and bigger every

1584
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 1: year as the team who's taking the field could be

1585
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl this year, you know. And I

1586
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 1: have such emotions about because I'm a huge Bills fan,

1587
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 1: you know. I mean from the time I was a kid,

1588
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: my dad and doctrined me to be part of a

1589
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: Bills fan back in the mid eighties when they weren't

1590
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:09,680
Speaker 1: so good, and then Steve and the team came in

1591
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 1: and gave us all the excitement, and then throughout and

1592
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 1: then professionally, it allowed us, with my friendship with Jim

1593
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:17,760
Speaker 1: to get involved with the Bills in a partner with

1594
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: the Bills, So now to be a fan and a

1595
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 1: corporate partner, the emotions and the feelings of it is

1596
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 1: just absolutely amazing. And to see the support that we

1597
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:28,800
Speaker 1: have from all of Western New York and Central New

1598
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 1: York and the Finger Lakes, that energy that I just

1599
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:33,559
Speaker 1: I didn't see that, I mean seeing on the NFL

1600

1616
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: takes sun protection very seriously. Most importantly, of course, is

01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: wearing sunscreen. Right now, you can stop by your local

Speaker 1: a great way to protect your family and help the

1622
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 1: fight against skin cancer and think sun defense. Like Bill's

1623
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:58,680
Speaker 1: head coach, Sean McDermott, if attending camp there will be

1624
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 1: a sunscreen booth, well there was a sunscreen booth and

1625
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: now camp is over, so I'm sorry if you didn't

1626
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: make it to the sunscreen booth. I used the sunscreen booth.

1627
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: We used it all up. It's awesome. We definitely use

1628
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: a lot of sunscreen here at Saint John Fisher. I

1629
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:18,280
Speaker 1: will say, weatherwise, though, this was probably the most mild

1630
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 1: training camp we've been at. It's been really good. Way.

1631
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 1: We've had a couple of hot practices, don't get me wrong,

1632
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:28,640
Speaker 1: but for the most part it was totally doable. I

1633
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 1: remember training camp practices weeks where you know you're out

1634
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 1: here in Rochester or in Buffalo and you are just

1635
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: sweat and bullets watching practice and feeling so bad. There's

1636
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 1: the players who are in fold. This weather was spectacular

1637
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 1: at times. It was great as seventies sunny, light breeze.

1638
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 1: It was great, and fans loved it, and obviously the crowds.

1639
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean it was absolutely packed every day and I

1640
01:22:58,040 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 1: think I think it's one of those times where you

1641
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 1: get fact It's like, wow, I remember what this is like.

1642
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 1: Every I make jokes about it every training camp. I'm like,

1643
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: after ten minutes of first practice, I'm like, I'm so

1644
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: fed up with training. Yeah, Steve, But it does have

1645
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 1: its moments, and it's been a lot of fun this year,

1646
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 1: and for obvious reasons, this has been a highly anticipated

1647
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: training Boy. Yes, yes it has. We've got our tweet

1662
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 1: some good plays tomorrow, that the Colts will have some

1663
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: guys do some things as well. Who those guys are,

1664
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 1: who they're playing against, how they played the rest of

1665
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 1: their snaps. Certainly, fans like Maddie and I and all

1666
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 1: of us out here watching who don't know everything there

1667
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 1: is to know about what goes on to the play

1668
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: calls and all that, we're gonna watch these games and

1669
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna pick out you know, this guy made this play,

1670
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 1: and he made that play, and those two reds, those

1671
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:42,679
Speaker 1: two reps are gonna give us our entire opinion about

1672
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,960
Speaker 1: the guy, and he could have. He might stink on

1673
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 1: every other play he has, but on those two plays

1674
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: he did something great. Will think he's great. We'll wonder

1675
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 1: why he gets cut or he'll do something bad and

1676
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: we'll think he's got no shot and he will make

1677
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,799
Speaker 1: the team because we don't know all the others reps

1678
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,400
Speaker 1: that he took. He was perfect. Some of that's gonna

1679
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:03,880
Speaker 1: go on. We're all gonna overreact to this preseason game.

1680
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 1: But man, I'm all about it. I'm up for some

1681
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 1: great overreactions. Oh, sign me up. Alex says. My bet

1682
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 1: is on James Cook. I think he'll go off and

1683
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: push for that RB two spot. Alex James Cook has

1684
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: been awesome to watch in training camp. Although I don't

1685
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:22,679
Speaker 1: know how many reps he's going to get in preseason games,

1686
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get some. But I feel like

1687
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 1: he's the type of player who the staff wants him

1688
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: to be a part of this roster because of his

1689
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 1: versatility in this offense, and they might want to throw

1690
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: him in there because he's a rookie, in because they

1691
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,559
Speaker 1: want to see him have some live reps here. But

1692
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get a bulk of the reps.

1693
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:46,760
Speaker 1: We'll see. It may be one of those things where

1694
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: he's a young player. They want to get a look

1695
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 1: at him, see what he can do against some people.

1696
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 1: Order here, Coreyer there. He may get more snaps than

1697
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 1: we think he's going to. I certainly don't think he's

1698
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 1: going anywhere. He's on the fifty three. Yeah, but nevertheless,

1699
01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 1: you still want to see him get his feet wet

1700
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:02,640
Speaker 1: before we're throwing him out on Thursday night football with

1701
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams and yeah, under the bright lights.

1702
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 1: So they may give him a chance to get his

1703
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:11,680
Speaker 1: feet wet in every game let alone, which maybe not

1704
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 1: a high volume. All right, mark our last one. Isaiah Hodgins.

1705
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 1: He says, we'll look right with third stringers in games,

1706
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,599
Speaker 1: and he'll have all the fans clamoring to see more

1707
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 1: with Josh Isaiah Hodgins. He's another player who's had a

1708
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 1: couple really nice practices here in Rochester. I think also

1709
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 1: had a nice return of the Blue and Red performance

1710
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: as well. I would circle him on my list as

1711
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 1: people that I'm excited to watch in these preseason games.

1712
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,600
Speaker 1: Anybody that hasn't been mentioned yet. As we look at

1713
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 1: this roster card, Steve, that is on your list, I'll

1714
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 1: say one person, so Tommy Sweeney. We know Tommy Sweeney.

1715
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,639
Speaker 1: He's been a part of this team. He started in games.

1716
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 1: A tight end that I'm looking forward to seeing in

1717
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 1: preseason games is Quentin Morris. Yeah, he's played very well

1718
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:05,679
Speaker 1: in this camp. That kid doesn't he does not stop smiling.

1719
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:08,880
Speaker 1: He is awesome to be around. Um, he's been somebody

1720
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 1: who I've gotten to know a little bit over over

1721
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: the last couple months. I didn't interview with him in

1722
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 1: the off season and was like, oh my gosh, Quinn Morris.

1723
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 1: He's so great. He's had some really nice practices, has

1724
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:23,679
Speaker 1: made some impressive grabs. So I'm looking forward to seeing

1725
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 1: somebody like him get some more snaps. See what he'll do.

1726
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough to make that tight end room.

1727
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 1: I think one for me is one of the young

1728
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, Number seventy Alec Anderson, undrafted rookie free agent.

1729
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 1: He has played well. Brownie Knife talked about him a

1730
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 1: couple of times. Don't know if you leave you know

1731
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 1: if he's gonna get in, if he's gonna get a

1732
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: lot of time, but I'll be interested to see if

1733
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 1: a kid like that can come onto this squad and

1734
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 1: make this team. And maybe he's not playing as well

1735
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: as I think he is. Maybe I don't know what

1736
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking at, but I'll be interested to see how

1737
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 1: he does in games against some snaps, getting some snaps

1738
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis Colts. All right, two more for me

1739
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 1: before we get to our Fortunes, which we're gonna read

1740
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 1: for you guys, Damar Hamlin and Jaquan Johnson. We're not

1741
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 1: going to see a lot out of Micah Hyde and

1742
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:11,639
Speaker 1: of course Jordan Poyer, who's getting better from that elbow injury.

1743
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 1: These are two young players who are going to take

1744
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,679
Speaker 1: over the end of the back end of the defense

1745
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 1: of the secondary. That's a big tall task in the

1746
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 1: NFL nowadays, with the way that quarterbacks throw the ball,

1747
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:26,000
Speaker 1: you're the quarterback of the defense back there. So I'm

1748
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:28,320
Speaker 1: excited to see what they can do. If they can

1749
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 1: get a little duo tance safety tanem going, we'll see.

1750
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 1: They don't get a chance of playing the regular season,

1751
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 1: so this is their time right now. Okay, she started

1752
01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:38,640
Speaker 1: this yesterday. We're reading fortune cookies from the cafeteria. We

1753
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: got this. I got a couple of them because I

1754
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 1: was hungry, so I got two fortune cookies. My first

1755
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:47,759
Speaker 1: one says, chances are present to make huge personal gains. Yeah, okay,

1756
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: chances are present. Okay, that means opportunities are here. And

1757
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: my next one is business is like a lot like

1758
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:55,800
Speaker 1: playing tennis. If you don't serve, well, you lose. That's

1759
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:58,040
Speaker 1: pretty good. That's a little bit. Time is not good.

1760
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 1: Emotion hinders your trussel. What what is it? What's Yeah,

1761
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 1: we'll get back to that tomorrow. I don't know what

1762
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:08,320
Speaker 1: that is. All right. We're wrapping up here from training

1763
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:11,080
Speaker 1: camp at Saint John Fisher University. A big thank you

1764
01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:14,120
Speaker 1: to everybody who made it happen. It was top notch.

1765
01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:16,720
Speaker 1: Like Josh Allen says, we're gonna miss it here. We'll

1766
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:22,880
Speaker 1: see you back in Rochester. Everybody see you on Friday.
